About Bogotá

Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada founded Bogotá in 1538 on a high Andean plateau, and it later became the seat of the Spanish New Granada viceroyalty. The colonial streets of La Candelaria still surround Plaza de Bolívar, while the mountain of Monserrate watches over the city. Today it is a vast, cultured capital of galleries, street art and an excellent food scene.
